From an Old Geography.

Goldsmith's Geography, published in
1924. describing the United States, says:
"People become old in America sooner
than in Europe. Upon females the influ-
ence of the climate is still more sensible.
When young the women are generally
beautiful, particularly in Philadelphia
but after twenty they begin to lose their
fresh color and teeth, and at the age of
twenty-five many of them would pass for
Europeans at forty" What funny things
those old Biographies were, to be sure.

We have a treat in store for our artistically
inclined readers in the advertisements Of the
Ivory Soap. The first of the series of elegant
announcements Of its many virtues appears in
this issue. The Ivory Soap must indeed be a
soap of rare merit if continuous good things
can be said of it, and we predict our readers
will become so interested in the beautifully
drawn pictures that they will be the first thing
looked for in the paper, even to havin the pref
notices, and our business men will soon be con-
WINGED that advertising is not lost art, nor is
art lost when applied to advertising. The fact
that the space has been taken by such discrim-
mating advertisers as Proctor & Gamble is
endorsement of what we have always claimed:
n" better advertising medium exists than this
paDer.

The late Henry Ward Beecher AWAY

The late Henry Ward Beecher always
wore a soft fur hat with wide brim. He
never varied the style 10 any great ex-
tent One day he went into a store in
Brooklyn and found new style of hat.
He tried one and said: This will do :;
send me home six of them. There is
no use buying one hat at time" The
hats were sent, with the bill. When Mr..
Beecher's frugal wife received the bill
and the package she Immediately re-
turned FIVE of the hats and asked for q
corrected bill.
